ACTION ALERT: Support Needed for SB924 The Oregon Jury Nullification Bill

3/7/2017

Right now in the Senate Committee On Judiciary there is a bill concerning the Right to an Impartial Jury. It would add wording to the jury instructions given by the judge to the jury explaining their power to acquit and right to nullify.

SB 924 is the Oregon Jury Nullification Bill

“The primary function of the independent juror is not, as many think, to dispense punishment to fellow citizens accused of breaking various laws, but rather to protect fellow citizens from tyrannical abuses of power by government.”

Please contact the following Senators on the Judiciary Committee and politely ask them to vote yes on Senate Bill 924, the Oregon Jury Nullification Bill. Ask them to schedule a Hearing for SB 924, and to pass the bill on for a full vote of the Senate. Then ask them to support the Right to Jury Nullification and please vote in favor of the measure.
Right now SB 924 is in the Senate Committee On Judiciary
